As that legendary bread was called from what it was made? Answer these a question quite perhaps, it is only worth pondering upon a legend, having for a while rejected religious prejudices. Unfortunately, the exact name of the monk who prepared this surprising dish remained to unknown, about it there is no mention, it is possible to understand all the rest.
The name of bread which on a legend was made by the monk

In one of the finals of the game "Field of wonders" the question connected with this bread was asked, the word had to consist of eight letters. Pretzel is considered addition to tea and delicacy only now for fans of pastries which is available every day, earlier it was the kind of bread. Today pretzel can be bought in any shop, and in the ancient time it was the real gift from above. The legend just shakes imagination of readers. It narrates about how the people exhausted for hunger and painful transition through the desert saw before themselves a huge number of the small grains resembling semolina superficially. They were sated with these grains, it also allowed them to survive and finish the incredibly difficult way. One of monks, allegedly, even managed to make bread of heavenly grains. It appears, the divine gift can find quite reasonable, terrestrial explanation. Some scientists assume that grains of a divine manna are lumps of an edible lichen which are carried by wind on the African and Asian deserts. Certainly, bible history blows the mind, strengthens views of believers, but has quite scientific justification, so, can be a historic fact.
